What information is your phone sharing about you?

On Monday, a trade group that represents the mobile advertising industry called for clearer policies regarding the gathering and use of user data. They intend to discuss it at a meeting next month. But while the issue of advertisers tracking people online has received some attention in recent weeks, the same can't be said for apps.

Most people just find something that looks fun or helpful or interesting, they download it and they go. The page for the app doesn't often detail what information they'll be taking from you and how they'll use it.

Many of these apps are big name brands. Angry Birds, Pandora, The New York Times. But the easy availability of apps means some real scam artists can sneak in there too, threatening not just your privacy but your security. Chris Wysopal, chief technology officer of the security company Veracode, tells us that by now a lot of people know how to spot a scam in a web browser but we have a lot of learning to do in the relatively new space of apps.
